The Biblioteca Madre project amplifies the voices of indigenous people, females, and people with disabilities of Latin America engaged in artistic practices, empowering them to reach new audiences through multimedia educational content. A team of artists and educators connected and collaborated with the selected artists to create an online multimedia library that showcases their history, culture, and traditions. The resulting library, along with lesson plans and teachers guides, will be shared with youth-serving organizations across Latin America and the USA.

 Individuals, organizations and schools that are interested in participating will complete a short registration form to gain access to the materials and complete a short evaluation form to provide their feedback.

El proyecto Biblioteca Madre amplifica las voces de los pueblos indígenas, las mujeres y las personas con discapacidad de América Latina que participan en prácticas artísticas, capacitándoles para llegar a nuevos públicos a través de contenidos educativos multimedia. Un equipo de artistas y educadores se puso en contacto y colaboró con los artistas seleccionados para crear una biblioteca multimedia en línea que muestra su historia, cultura y tradiciones. La biblioteca resultante, junto con los planes didácticos y las guías para profesores, se compartirá con organizaciones al servicio de los jóvenes de toda América Latina y Estados Unidos.

Las personas, organizaciones y escuelas interesadas en participar rellenarán un breve formulario de inscripción para acceder a los materiales y completarán un breve formulario de evaluación para dar su opinión.
